    Thanks! This video has been the most helpful one I've found so far for Etsy shipping. I started my Etsy shop in September and the shipping has been sooo expensive. I didn't know that priority mail and flat rate boxes were cheaper for bigger packages. No wonder it costed so much. So far I've lost more money than I've gained. Glad I found this video or i probably would've lost a lot of money.

    Hi! I found this video watching your old one specifically about Etsy shipping 2 years ago. I recently started selling my homemade candles on Etsy; your video helped me a lot but the problem is I created and paid for a shipping label through Etsy but I was confused on the listing dimensions and if that includes the USPS Priority box or not? I put my candles in a little brown box with shredded paper, tissue paper, ribbon, etc. So that box is 6x6x4 and needs to go in a USPS priority box because whether it is 1 candle or multiple, the package will always be over 1 lb. I just want to make sure with the shipping label I have (which only accounts for the candle and the stuff inside the brown box, that I can put that brown box in any USPS box it will fit? I hope this makes sense.

Then I inputted the dimensions of the small flat rate box ($8 to ship from usps flat rate). But The shipping rate on Etsy says $3.57. Will I be stuck paying the remainder of the $8 flat rate when I drop off at usps??

    As a Mail Carrier here in Miami you’re giving some misinformation here. A person doesn’t have to ship Priority for anything weighing over 16 Oz’s. One can ship however they choose even book rate and say it’s books inside or any type of media mail. The maximum weight for First Class letters and light weight parcels is 13 Oz’s. Check our site. Anything over there’s a charge per ounce. Customers have a choice as to how they want to mail their packages, the Clerk will never say, “oh YOU MUST ship Priority because your parcel weighs 3 pounds!” The difference between Priority and Regular First Class mail IS, one can track their packages with Priority shipping. For those who doesn’t care about tracking they can ship however. We will ask are there any liquids, plastics or explosives.
